Future Integrated User Services (F-IUS) Fixed Voice and Video Secret (FVVS)
Notice Description
This procurement is for Commercial off the shelf (COTS) devices and standard market available hardware to supply a Unified Communications (UC) solution for FVVS to be consumed by the User through hard and soft existing clients. However, there will be a requirement to provide modified off the shelf (MOTS) devices for sensitive locations where the normal COTS products do not meet with MOD requirements.
